2023-05-31 18:25:51 -0500 marked best answer Generic question about the error "Waiting for service /gazebo/spawn_urdf_model"

Hello,

I had a generic question about a specific error.

It says Waiting for service /gazebo/spawn_urdf_model and the terminal freezes. This usually happens when I'm trying to launch any robot in Gazebo.

I've always figured out how to go past these errors but never really understood "why" and "when" exactly these errors pop up? What do they mean and what's the general workaround to get past these errors?

TIA

I believe the RTABMAP has mapping and localization modes. Can they both run together? If they can't how is RTABMap said to be a SLAM algorithm?
